Flint named to federal Strong Cities, Strong Communities initiative

[LeannaM]

My apologies if this should be in the Non-Detroit section. I'm not sure if you consider Flint in Detroit metro area or not.

FLINT, MI – Flint’s master plan is already paying dividends as the city was named to a federal program targeted at helping financial distressed cities.

The seven new locations will receive technical advice and expertise from federal inter-agency teams, HUD said in a statement.

The program was started with six cities in 2011 by the White House Domestic Policy Council. Detroit was one of the original cities.

Other cities added to the program include St. Louis, Gary, Ind., Brownsville, Texas, Rockford, Ill., Macon, Ga. And Rocky Mount, N.C.

Ummm...

Flint and Detroit are part of the FLA, [[Flat Land Area).

Although there are parts of Northern Oakland County that reminds one of the North Michigan.
